I am waiting for him to say we just bid 60 million for Adebayo 'The Beast' Akinfenwa
Squad muscle mass

Yeah, true. But everyone understands what Stoke City football means even if Stoke themselves don't play much like that anymore. A cold Tuesday night at the Hawthorns just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Not that it matters but bicep strength is virtually useless as a professional footballer, especially an outfielder. Core work, squats and some back exercises are however. He does look in good shape, but for every Ronaldo, theres a Memphis.. he shouldn't over do it.
A slight exageration ? He was obviously growing during the season, he didn't just magically transform the few weeks we haven't watched him. It was a work in progress. I'm happy about it, there isn't much of a negative consequence in working out seriously for him. Memphis was and is a shit footballer, no amount of gym training was going to chance that.
Shaw is quite fit, it's just his build that makes him look a bit chubby.
Both him and Herrera are taller than they look.
I knew Herrera was about 1.80 (in normal numbers), which is a good height for a footballer.

Yes and even without the serious training, he'd still be growing as he's after a kid. The futur is bright for him.Exactly.

Rashford and I are the same age...where the feck did I go wrong?
Smooth breakdown .. thanks for clearing that up
He wants a full and details explanation. Preferably with pics and videos.

Ummm, the biceps is aiding the back when you pull, just like the triceps is aiding the chest when you push. So whenever you do back exercises (mostly pulling towards yourself) you are working both the back and the biceps.
Not that it matters too much, just want to share some of my little knowledge.
Maybe a pm to him for that? There are kids here!He wants a full and details explanation. Preferably with pics and videos.

He probably has some £50.000 a week reasons to do it...you probably get paid regardless
I'm 4 years older then him and I'm looking more and more like the Brazilian Ronaldo with each passing day.
Pulis would be proud.
Aggressiveness counts more than muscle mass. Not shying away from 50-50 challenge and such.
Guys like Fletcher, Ramires and the Bender brothers all very physical even without much muscle mass.
Muscle mass has been a bit overrated in this thread.
Yes, Madrid are the best now and have some strong players among their ranks. But Barça at their peak only had Pique, Toure, Busquets & maybe Keita at 6+ feet. Last season, they had Rakitic, Gomes, Mathieu, Digne etc. and still regularly got bested by smaller teams.
Muscle is important but it's the style of play and the responsiveness of the players to tactics that counts the most

Wow that's interesting - didn't realize that. I guess that explains why I feel like I shrunk since I stopped hitting the gym.
We may have a big squad, but there's plenty of technicians.
Obligatory Chart:
Obviously Back and biceps work together but my point was that strong bi's wont have much use for a footballer.
